About this map

Croton Falls Reservoir and the Titicus Reservoir anchor this 2019 survey of the borderlands between Putnam and Westchester counties. The landscape is defined by the sophisticated hydraulic infrastructure of the New York City water supply system, including the subterranean Delaware Aqueduct and the regulated flow of the East Branch Croton River. These modern utilities overlay a dense network of residential hamlets and historic crossroads such as Somers, Lincolndale, and Purdys.

Genealogists will find numerous family and parish burial grounds preserved amidst the suburban growth, including Saint Josephs Cem and Ivandell Cem. The corridor of the Metro-North Railroad remains a primary artery through the valley, passing through Goldens Bridge and Katonah. The map captures the persistence of smaller community identifiers like Whitehall Corners and Shenorock even as the region has evolved into a key commuter and utility hub.
